Yahoo has released its list of the most-watched YouTube videos of the year, and—shocker!—a certain Scottish Dream Warbler is far and away the champion, at 120 million-plus views.
Following Susan Boyle at a distant second—you’ll recognize him by the trail of cotton batting and wisdom-tooth drool—is “David After Dentist,” but music reigns again (adjacently, but again) with the third-place finisher “JK Wedding Dance Entrance,” a.k.a. the Midwestern Chris Brown Nuptial Boogaloo.
In the category of straight-up music videos, Pitbull’s “I Know You Want Me,” finished first with more than 82 million views, followed by a Miley Cyrus double whammy (“The Climb” at 64 million views and “Party In The U.S.A.” at 48 million). Andy Samberg and co. T-Pained their way to the no. 4 spot with SNL‘s “I’m On A Boat” (also at 48 million), and Keri Hilson took the fifth spot (35 million) with el señors Kanye and Ne-Yo with “Knock You Down.”
What got you through 2009 on repeat repeat repeat? Tell this guy, because he can hardly stand the suspense:

Yep. You know a movie’s big when the trailer’s release (in this case, at the VMAs) is an event in itself.
Kittens Inspired By Kittens!
I also want to add the oldie-but-a-goodie D*** In A Box. I get all sentimental about it this time of year. It gives me the dumb giggles every time.
I watched Andy Samberg’s “Threw it on the Ground” video way more than the only-ok “On a Boat.”
What else? Lolcats. Always.
I THREW IT ON THE GROUND!!
You forgot, “Happy Birthday to the ground!”
I only watched it once myself, but wasn’t that whole wedding dance to “Forever” THE BIG THING for like 3 whole weeks.
It was way more funny on “The Office.”
I watched a lot of news bloopers – namely the one where they’re intending to show a mugshot of an accused murderer and it turns out to be an adorable picture of a hamster. Hilarious.
The only YouTube videos I watch repeatedly are a few singers like Sara Niemietz, Mia Rose, sayalessandra, Joan Osborne and the late, great, Eva Cassidy.
No one even knows who these people are. Are they Rappers? Do they play golf?
joan osborne still makes music? who knew
What? Eva Cassidy is a goddess and its a damn shame she died so early…you need to learn before you speak!
i LOVED David goes to the Dentist! Watched it several times.
I loved watching Glee musical numbers. Especially Don’t stop Believing, Somebody to love, It’s my life/Confessions meshup
Talking Out of Cups!!! If you haven’t seen it, watch it. Guy on acid = comedy gold.
I watch Thug Story a lot. Taylor Swift is hysterical as a rapper. I also love the Why Do You Let Me Stay Here? music video with JGL and Zooey Deschanel and the video for Electric Feel by MGMT
Auto-tune The News…really loved #8.
adam who? slezak and lyndsey you screwed him up big time you posted about him 2 or 3 times a day people get so sick of him now nobody wants to know about him just to tear him apart after what he did on the show and he has some attitude he blew it
It’s still a little new, but Surprise Kitty is probably one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen.
why the grammy didn’t nominate ‘i know you want me’ as record of the year? i’m tired the way the grammys ignore this big talent pitbull, when they are going to open their eyes?
i watched pretty much every Michael Jackson music video over and over. plus that adorable interview of him (MJ unauthorized, something like that) where he’s wearing a red sweater and has his pet llama.
copy that. me too!
